Hello @liliana, I've just made your post into it's own discussion so that our members can more easily find it.
If you retire early because of ill health you may be entitled to other benefits. You can use a benefits calculator to check

In a previous thread in 2021 you were claiming Universal Credit, are you still claiming this? Thread here https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/86084/hi-my-name-is-liliana-my-fit-note-was-not-accepted-by-uc#latestIf so then a claim for New style ESA will not make you financially better off because it will be deducted in full from any UC entitlement.
Whether you’re entitled to ESA will depend on your NI contributions in tax years 2020/21 and 2021/22.If entitled it would still be worth claiming because it’s not means tested like UC is so could be useful.Have you been through the work capability assessment for UC? If so what was the decision on that?0
